The robber entered the bank at 802 Cheney Highway shortly after 2:30 p.m. and confronted about a dozen customers and employees. She demanded all the money from tellers and indicated she had a bomb in her purse, said Titusville police spokesman Jay Cullen.

At least two employees escaped through a back door while another called 911, Cullen said.

Based on the caller's description of the unfolding robbery, police decided they could arrest the suspect as she left the bank without endangering employees or customers, Cullen said.
